The support element is used to support overdetermined clamping points on components.
The benefits of the support element are:
- Support for unstable components
- Eliminates tool vibration during machining
- Supports ribs, beads and shackles, for reinforcement of clamped components
- Distortion-free support of raw parts
- Easy handling

Assembly
Fix the support element (2 x M 6 thread) onto the device. Pay attention to the operator's side!
Alternative: Dismantle the M 12 x 10 threaded pin and replace it by an M 12 x 30 threaded pin and assemble the support element with a wrench (WS 21), e.g. for T-slot mounting (no defined operator's side ensured). Threaded pin M 12 x 30 and T-nut DIN 508 M 12 x 14, quality 10, are part of the standard supply volume.
Lowering of the support element by 16 mm is possible.
Operation
By turning the clamping cam (WS 6 internal hexagon) on the outer surface of the red protective sleeve, the support pin contacts the workpiece with a slight spring load.
- By turning on (15 Nm) as far as possible (lock), total of 180°, the clamping mechanism locks the support pin without moving. The support element has been placed onto the workpiece and locked.
- If turned in the opposite direction (unlock), the clamping is released. If turned back as far as possible, i.e. total of 180° the support pin moves to the end position.
Notes
For safe functioning, the thread bore M 12 must always be closed.

In the M 8 threaded pin on the support bolt various seating pins (EH 22...) can be mounted. Custom-made extensions can also be fitted.
The clamping height can be increased using height adjusting cylinders EH 23310. and with spacers EH 1107. and EH 1108.
